"Really rubbish news - after battling through last night’s show feeling really unwell I’ve woken up feeling worse.

"So the smartest and safest thing to do is reschedule tonight’s show to Dec 5th. All tickets remain valid for the re-scheduled date.

"I’m so sorry.

"Luckily, we’ve been able to move the show only by a couple weeks."

All tickets remain valid for the rescheduled show on December 5, the star added.

"Can’t wait to see you all then and sing together!”, he said.

Many fans wished James well while others were left disappointed they had only seen the update on arrival to Leeds.
